I think it’s morbidly tacky, and you can’t even blame it all on Americans, either. When I was in Ireland last month with my parents, we saw a ton of Titanic, Lusitania and White Star merchandise at a gift shop in Cobh (formerly Queenstown, Titanic’s last port of call) and not too far from Kinsale, where the Lusitania…

Also the Field Museum shop, because people who don’t love dinosaurs are not people I want to know.

YES.

He’ll find a grassy knoll somewhere in that art gallery he can put her on.

Know what’s really nuts? The return flight was shockingly different. A bigger plane, for one thing, so we had more room and the attendants actually brought by snacks and drinks multiple times during the flight, to the point that I actually turned down some. It was astonishing in comparison to how miserable the…

We got delayed by one hour when I flew out on United back in October, and we had a meal included in the ticket but they waited SO goddamn long to serve it they might as well have not bothered. As it was I stayed up to wait for my food because I was hungry af and didn’t want to miss it but if I’d known how long I was…

Fellow cat ladies of Jezebel, we really need to coordinate our efforts to stage mommy our little darlings into the fuzzy army of political career takedown specialists that will save us all.

Same with my Adelaide. I was sandwich-bagging a bagel to bring with me to work this morning and she jumped up on the counter and tried to shove her nose in there, all “whatcha got? what’s that? WHERE’S MINE?” at me.

Welcome to the lesbian shitass club, Nancy!

After her parents split when she was little, her mom remarried to a Scientologist who got them into it. Every single one of them has since left the CoS.

And it would make a way better pillow to lean on than those tiny things the airlines leave in your seat.

The way they keep voting, they’re gonna starve themselves out sooner than they know and we won’t have to do anything.

I like to reread stories about the actual war on Christmas that really did happen when they get like this. Back in the 17th century, Puritans banned it for a number of years because - oh, this is good - in their belief it was a repurposed pagan holiday (true) that really had nothing canonically to do with Christ…

Yeah, I agree. The majority of her new look is makeup and styling. I’m not ruling out the possibility that she tweaked her nose a little bit, but most of it’s just that her hair and makeup are much more flattering than in the older photo.

I wonder if C-SPAN would air the hearing live. I hate reality tv, but I might be persuaded to make a big bucket of popcorn and watch that.

The people who voted for him are so dense. They were so caught up in thinking that all the things Trump said he was going to do were things he either didn’t really mean just to get elected, or were things he was only going to do to “other” (read: black, brown, “illegal”) people. Vox had a piece the other day on a…

Spiders From Mars = Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie’s backing band.

And yet, the pirates had a much better idea of fairness in their electoral system than we do. *sad trombone*

Oh, I absolutely LOVE beta-male. Talk about projection. It’s like when Nigel Farage was on after one of the debates, calling Chump an “alpha male”. I was like, “as if you know what one even is, Mr. Toad.”

One the one hand... if this kid actually did have some kind of nefarious, poorly thought out plan, it’s still more than our Congress has got at the moment.
